Farell has a gift card with a 45 balance he bought some bags of chips that cost 2.50 each after his perchase his gift card balance was 32.50 write and solve the equation to find how how many bags of chips x he bought

He bought 5 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of bags of chips bought

The amount used on the balance is;

45-32.5 = 12.5

Let the number of chips bought be n

Since each chip cost 2.5 each;

The amount of chips bought will be 2.5 * n = 2.5n

This is same as 12.5

Thus;

2.5n = 12.5

n = 12.5/2.5

n = 5

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
